Course description 

This course helps landscape architects recognize toxic plant risks in designed and managed landscapes. Participants learn how plant toxicity relates to ingestion, skin contact, livestock and pet exposure, berries, seeds, sap, and look-alike species. The course emphasizes risk assessment, plant selection, client communication, maintenance practices, and signage or access strategies for public gardens, schools, parks, residential landscapes, and ecological restoration settings.
